Testing Gravity with Binary Pulsars in the SKA Era
V. Venkatraman Krishnan, L. Shao, V. Balakrishnan +21
Binary (and trinary) radio pulsars are natural laboratories in space for understanding gravity in the strong field regime, with many unique and precise tests carried out so far, in…
Constraints on Einstein-aether gravity from the precision timing of PSR J1738+0333
Massimo Vaglio, Amodio Carleo, Abhimanyu Susobhanan +5
We constrain Einstein-aether gravity -- a Lorentz-violating extension of General Relativity in which a dynamical, unit timelike vector field selects a preferred frame -- using upda…
PSR J00247204ai: a massive, eccentric binary system in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae
D. Risbud, A. Ridolfi, P. C. C. Freire +9
In this paper we present PSR J00247204ai, a 13.026-ms binary pulsar recently discovered in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae by the MeerKAT radio telescope. This is the slowest sp…
Radio timing constraints on the orbital orientation and component masses of PSR J14553330
D. S. Pillay, V. Venkatraman Krishnan, David J. Champion +15
PSR J14553330 is a 7.98 ms pulsar in a 76.17 day nearly circular orbit with a white dwarf companion. In this work, we combine the available Lovell, Nançay decimetri…

Scintillating insights into PSR~J07373039A and the interstellar plasma of the Gum Nebula from MeerKAT
J. Askew, D. J. Reardon, R. M. Shannon +8
The double pulsar system PSR~J07373039A/B has enabled some of the most precise tests of strong-field gravity to date. Here, we present a scintillation analysis of the system bas…
